“Tonight, we’re going to get a quick state of play on this incredibly consequential presidential election,” said Daily Show host Jon Stewart at the beginning of his Monday monologue. “The election has basically boiled down to each candidate accusing the other of having soup where there should be brain.”
Stewart began by describing the GOP case against President Joe Biden, pointing to Biden’s “habit of seemingly staring at what can only be considered ghosts or out-of-frame paratroopers.” He showed audiences a clip of Biden at the recent G7 summit, in which the paratroopers were cropped out by right-wing influencers and media outlets to make it seem like Biden was looking at nobody.
As for the Biden campaign’s case that Donald Trump is mentally incompetent? Stewart found it a lot more convincing. Describing Trump as constantly “tripping over his own dick any time he tries to capitalize on Biden’s age,” Stewart found the idea of Trump being “the sharpest tool in the shed” laughable.
